Summary

Boatpoint Hamble are pleased to offer for sale, a superb example of this popular classic. The MG335 is a wonderfully capable cruiser / racer and this particular example has been in the same ownership for about 6 years and the current owner has enjoyed racing and cruising her on the South coast, Northern France, Isles of Scilly and around the Channel Islands. Many systems have been upgraded during the course of current ownership including deck hardware, Raymarine autopilot and other electronics. Great success has been had on the race track both crewed and singlehanded. An incredibly well-mannered and forgiving boat, she is an ideal all-rounder and equally capable cruising or racing.

Owner's Comments

I’ve owned “Virago” for 6 years and have thoroughly enjoyed racing and cruising her on the south coast of England, northern France, Isles of Scilly, Channel Islands etc. Many systems have been upgraded during the course of my ownership including deck hardware, autopilot and electronics and much refurbishment work has been carried out to keep her in good shape.

Great success has been had on the race track, doublehanded and singlehanded. With a solid lead fin keel she rates well under IRC and also has a fantastic ballast ratio which keeps her on her feet and keeps her going well upwind without the extra righting moment of a full crew on the rail. Incredibly well-mannered and forgiving, she is equally well suited to cruising or racing.
